The test that fails is supposed to link with the not-yet-installed
version of libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1 somewhere under
/daten/source/guile-1.6.8/srfi, but it is actually picking up an
already installed library under /opt/freeware/lib.

Also, according to google, the invalid magic number message most often
indicates a 32-bit/64-bit mixup.  So perhaps the installed library is
64-bit, and the one you're trying to build is 32-bit.

Anyway, it looks like you could solve the problem by somehow hiding
the /opt/freeware/lib libraries when building Guile.
